Subject: [PATCH 04/13] x86/x2apic: Support x2apic self IPI with NMI_VECTOR

From: Jacob Pan <jacob.jun.pan@...ux.intel.com>

X2APIC architecture introduced a dedicated register for sending self-IPI.
Though highly optimized for performance, its semantics limit the delivery
mode to fixed mode.  NMI vector is not supported, this created an
inconsistent behavior between X2APIC and others.

This patch adds support for X2APIC NMI_VECTOR by fall back to the slower
ICR method.
